Having people survey a building for asbestos is all very well and good, but the real TAKE HOME VALUE is the quality of the report - the Asbestos Register that is issued to you following the survey
The front
page of a typical PCL Asbestos Register
The Asbestos Register needs to be able to tell the Dutyholder and any people intending to work on the fabric of the site where asbestos containing materials may be expected to be found. It is also greatly helpful if it also refers to materials which may look like asbestos containing materials at first glance, but which (after laboratory analysis), are shown to have no asbestos detected - since knowledge of this can avoid someone stopping work because of concern about a suspected asbestos contamination which isn't actually there.
